Do you have experience working with families and children ? We are expanding our team of part time child contact supervisors in East Sussex.
With six child contact centres in the South East we are expanding our team to meet increasing demand for family time in the area.
We welcome applicants with weekday only availability, as long as this includes after school hours as well, weekend only availability or a mixture of availability across the week as long as it is on regular days.
As a Child Contact Supervisor, you’ll play a crucial role in facilitating safe and supportive family time between children and their non-resident parents or significant others. You’ll oversee these sessions ensuring that the environment remains positive and safe for the children.
A child contact centre offers a welcoming space for children to nurture or re-establish contact with a parent or their significant others. The children we work with may be living with a parent, an extended family member or foster carers.
These are flexible bank roles ideal for someone looking for flexibility but with good regular weekly availability. It can fit well around semi retirement or other part time work.
This is an employed role under a zero hour contract and we cannot guarantee minimum weekly hours as the role is demand driven by family needs, so some sessions are weekly, other less frequent, however we are very busy.
